— 17 — (2020 game summaries, continued) WEEK 13, GAME 12 Miami Dolphins 19, Cincinnati Bengals 7 WEEK 12, GAME 11 Sunday, Dec. 6, 2020 at N.Y. Giants 19, Cincinnati Bengals 17 The host Dolphins and visiting Bengals played an eventful and chippy game that Sunday, Nov. 29, 2020 at Paul Brown Stadium featured 14 combined penalties and five ejections. Cincinnati controlled much of the first half and held a 7-6 advantage at halftime, behind a 72-yard TD pass from QB Brandon QB Brandon Allen started the Bengals’ first game after losing standout rookie QB Joe Allen to WR Tyler Boyd. But Boyd left the game late in the second quarter due to an Burrow to a season-ending knee injury. Allen had spent the previous 11 weeks on ejection for fighting, and Cincinnati’s offense never recovered. After Boyd’s exit, the Cincinnati’s practice squad and, due to COVID-19, had been largely isolated from the rest of the team while serving as the team’s emergency QB. On Cincinnati’s first possession, S Bengals totaled just 25 yards and were held scoreless. Meanwhile, the Dolphins took advantage of a thin Bengals secondary and in the third quarter alone posted 181 total Brandon Wilson returned the kickoff 103 yards for a TD, good for the longest play of any yards, 10 points and an 11:27-3:33 edge in time of possession. The two teams got into a kind in team history. Cincinnati’s offense, though, struggled for much of the game, as six of its 10 possessions (not including a kneel-down at the end of the first half) ended in three or fight during the fourth quarter after Dolphins players and coaches left their bench area to confront Bengals players and coaches following a kick-catch interference penalty on fewer plays. But the Bengals’ defense kept things close and gave Cincinnati a chance to Bengals WR Mike Thomas. The fight resulted in three more ejections, including Cincinnati win late. Allen cut New York’s lead to two points with a TD pass to rookie WR Tee Higgins with 2:33 left, then Cincinnati’s defense forced a Giants three-and-out and a punt. But on S Shawn Williams. Miami rode its strong second-half performance to a 19-7 win. The Dolphins improved to 8-4, while the Bengals fell to 2-9-1. Cincinnati’s first play, with the ball at the 50-yard line and 57 seconds left, Giants DL Jabaal Sheard sacked Allen and forced a fumble, which the Giants recovered to seal a SCORE BY PERIODS 1 2 3 4 OT PTS. 19-17 win.
